## What it is
A native PostgreSQL client library for Rust, offering both synchronous (postgres) and asynchronous (tokio-postgres) drivers. It includes supporting crates for Rust-Postgres type conversions and TLS integration via native-tls or openssl.

## Use cases
- connect to postgres from rust
- async postgresql queries with tokio
- run sql statements in a rust application
- tls-encrypted postgres connections in rust
- map postgres types to rust types

## When to choose
- you need a native, dependency-light PostgreSQL driver in Rust
- you want async database access integrated with the Tokio ecosystem
- you need fine-grained control over queries without a full ORM

## When to avoid
- you want an ORM with migrations and model relations (consider Diesel or SeaORM)
- you need a database-agnostic driver that works across multiple databases
- your project uses a different language than Rust

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database-driver, database
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: postgresql, async, tokio, tls
